Abstract

The present invention relates to data compression and decompression, and particularly relates to a method and an apparatus for compressing and decompressing signal data. In an embodiment of the present invention, there is disclosed a method for compressing signal data, comprising: obtaining signal data; determining block lengths of a plurality of data blocks into which the signal data are divided, and determining exponents of the data blocks; forming a mantissa sequence of the data block by using the exponent of the data block to compress signal data contained in the data block; and forming a compressed data block by using the block length, the exponent and the mantissa sequence of the data block. By constructing a variable-length data block adapted to dynamic characteristics of signal data, the method for compressing signal data of the present invention increases the compression ratio of signal data.
